| Abstract: | Measurement of Level and Flow in Processing Plants The author reviews the processes and systems for the measurement of level. The devices are described for indicating the states ?Full”? and ?Empty”? in the automatic charging and discharging, for continuous measurement in the monitoring of the stores and processes, for measuring systems based on specific properties, such as conductivity and capacity, for electromechanical systems, for non-contact measuring procedures based on sonic and ultrasonic echometry as well as radioactivity, for microwave systems, and for the measurement of aggressive products and substances under high pressures and temperatures, and, in explosion-proof plants. In the measurement of flow, inductive flowmeters of high precision and reliability are used for conducting liquids; corrosion-resistant turbines are used for all products with low viscosity; tooth wheel flowmeter are used for highly viscous materials. The processes for the measurement of level and flow are described in an example for the treatment of waste water. |
